Jaffer Murphy: Unconventional Kicker Buzzes Eagles Scouts

It's March 21st.

Here's your NFL news in two minutes.

Philadelphia Eagle Scouts turned heads at the recent University of Texas at San Antonio

Pro Day, where Kicker Jaffa Murphy put on a clinic.

This 6'1, 185 lb. athlete nailed 12 of 13 field goals, including a massive 70 yarder and

blaze the four.

0.47 second 40 yard dash.

Murphy stands out because he's built more like a wide receiver than a typical kicker.

With speed that could shake up kickoff units.

His background adds to the intrigue.

He started in college soccer at Drake and Florida Gulf Coast before switching to kicking

at Division 2, Lake Erie, College, North Carolina, and finally UTSA.

Fans and analysts are buzzing about his rare combo of power and athleticism, wondering

if he could tackle or even play other roles on special teams.

At his size and speed, he's unlike any kicker prospects in recent memory.

The Eagles already have reliable Jake Elliott handling kicks, but Murphy's performance right

in front of their Scouts has sparked talk of a draft pick, or, undrafted free agent,

signing to add some excitement to the playbook.

With trick plays always in demand, keep an eye on whether Philadelphia pulls the trigger

on this unconventional talent as the draft approaches.
